There\'s no such thing as \

There\\\'s no such thing as \\\"an example that doesn\\\'t need context\\\". In both cases you mentioned the reader would have to leave page they\\\'re on to see those tropes play out. We don\\\'t want that. It\\\'s a distraction, there\\\'s no guarantee they\\\'ll actually do that, and the reader shouldn\\\'t have to leave the page they\\\'re reading to understand what you\\\'re saying.

Well, yes you would add detail like that. Every trope can be used a magnitude of different ways. We want to document those cases to show that. Also, when writing an example it\\\'s best to assume that the reader hasn\\\'t read the work or the trope you\\\'re listing, that way it\\\'s clear to everyone. Stuff like this is covering in our HowToWriteAnExample page, please read it.

As far as SteamPunk goes, it\\\'s largely defined by the technology in the work so give a brief overview of that.
